Coming out. Before doing so, I closed myself off from all manner of emotion, creativity, and honesty. I tried to be invisible. I closed myself off from people. I lived in my own mind. Being closeted led me to compensate…
The community sure has come along way. I appreciate that the design is still pretty much the same. Even still running on Arc lang!
Depends on what you want to use Scheme for. Racket - wide support, ease of use, etc. GNU Guile - extending GNU applications or building your own robust ones. Chibi - embedded applications. (My personal favorite.) If you…
I see what you did there.
I first discovered Borges in high school. We read "The Book of Sand" from a textbook. I've been wrapped up in the mysticism of the scenarios of his writing ever since. Years later, I visited his home city, Buenos Aires,…
Instagram's api has always been locked down pretty tightly, not having near the use of 3rd party Twitter apps. This may not have that big of an impact.
My favorite feature is definitely the square bracket destructuring syntax. This is great for bringing tuple-esque operations to the language.
I agree with this assertion. Albeit, isn't this what's to come with WebAssembly?
Well, this is interesting to see after what happened to npm a few weeks ago. Check out the getting started page, there's an npm install: https://dev.kik.com/#/docs/getting-started
A few lines of CSS could have done the trick. Read: http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/
> Effort put into rhine-ml: 2 months > Effort put into rhine: 1 year, 1 month Props for the effort put into this! I came across rhine-ml a while ago and thought it would have been a nice, native alternative to Clojure.…
It's really cool to see an old game engine released like this for historical purposes. Not to mention, it's nice to be able to experiment and see other games become derivatives. Still, I can't help but feel that the…
The GPL version of the Quake II engine has been used to make a few games: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quake_II_engine#Games_based_on...
Thanks for the answer. That makes a lot of sense. I guess To some degree, I did know this. But the media has been portraying these moves as a complete move, hence the whole "exodus" hype. It bothers me still, because…
In a world that makes sense: probably. Keep in mind, Slack is not only raising money because it can but also because the public markets would throttle it like the companies had been in 2015. That said, Butterfield's…
Don't forget the apparent JS -> Go
Can someone provide a little context towards this exodus from AWS to Google Cloud? I understand in DropBox's case that they (questionably) need their own infrastructure for cost saving. But then there's Apple and…
It definitely would be better to just solve the problem. This is classic result of an OSS community responding to a problem with complaints or new, unrelated/irrelevant projects. Yet, being OSS, we have the means to fix…
Couldn't help but noticed that they skipped on Twitter, who uses Ruby and Scala.
You are right. It isn't best to start with LLVM, the top tier. I've made the mistake of letting it stop me in the past. Writing a Brainfuck interpreter is a good idea! (I'm aware of the language.) Perhaps I could also…
As a web developer, LLVM has always been a mystery to me. I have a basic understanding of computer science, but that has never been enough to parse through the documentation, written for those more used to lower level…
True, there are projects that die, Parse is perhaps the biggest example thus far. But seeing as how Microsoft is interested in expanding it's reach in OSS, I don't see a problem. This will likely be bundled with VS…
Well, I was tempted to mention Haskell. Problem is, I haven't found a practical use for it. Of all the FP languages, this is actually the one I am most tempted by. I had forgotten about Rust. Are there major projects…
Seen a lot of Erlang mentions in this thread. Is that the native alternative to Go? Personally, I prefer to write code in a functional manner. While I've always thought Go looked like an amazing platform for programming…
I've used GitLab before and had a very good experience with it. Meant mostly for private repos, however. I tried pushing it onto the teams I have worked with in the past but they resisted because they were unfamiliar…
